current total heat loss on a quick calc is around 23kW. Based on current extension plans on both ground & Loft Total Heat loss will 31kW. This is on a -1 +22 calc. Once extended we will be looking at HWS feeds to Kitchen(sink), Utility Room (sink), Cloakroom (whb). 1st floor will be...

Right, the boilers gone kaput & now the weather is warming up I've bitten the bullet & decided to replace the old boiler. I am a mechanical engineer but I deal with installation of chillers, air handlers & boilers over 500kW. I havent got a clue about what is good domestically. Can anyone out...

Problem 1. Last week the hws to the kitchen sink went from normal pressure & flowrate to a meagre dribble that eventually went to nothing. The problem got left for a day & it kinda resolved itself. However, today it has happened again. I disconnected the mixer tap from the feeds and checked...

I have a rad in my bathroom that doesn't work. I have drained, flushed, replaced valves, bled & balanced but still no joy. When I bleeed, the Flow pipe gets hot. If I take the bleed off then water (hot) pours out. As soon as it is replaced/shut the hot starts to cool down & within 5 minutes...

many thanks for your help. Turning the stat up method worked a treat.

Apologies for the late response! I've had the problem for about a month. I've had to wait 2 weeks for the delivery of the new actuator & whilst this happened I manually left the valve open so I could get HW off the CH system. Now I have changed the actuator following all the instruction...

I've been having problems with my my HW. CH heating is working fine but we are not getting any hot water. I've changed the actuator on the 2PMV & it makes the correct noise but the boiler doesn't seem to fire up for water heating. For the past 2 weeks I have had the actuator removed off the HW...

water did come out of the opened end. In fact it poured out all over the floor. This rad is a mystery to me. Water flows to it but it is cold after the bend on the flow.. The HW Cylinder fills even when the HW switch is off. Turning the water control down makes no difference. I know I have to...

Right, I've currently got 2 problems. 1. I posted on here last week regarding my rad in bathroom but I can't find it!. I have drained, cleaned & inhibited now. I even left the flow to it unconnected when refilling to see if there was a blockage, but no, water ****ed out all over the floor. The...

heating works great. Just the water that is bad.

how do i do that? I forgot to mention I don't know my a from my e!

not a towel rail but a rad that was stuck in after the initial installation & prior to me moving in. Just a 600x400 Double panel job with 15mm rad valves at either end.

This is the second time this has happened in my house. Last time it seemed to rectify itself but this time nothing seems to be happening. In this weather its making my daughters having a bath a nightmare. I get just about lukewarm water from my boiler despite it being on for about 3 hours...

The Rad in my bathroom has not been working for some time now & the nagging I've had off the Mrs has become unbearable. I've changed the TRV & the LSV & I'm still having the same problem. The Rad is stone cold but the pipework on the flow is hot up to about a 12" from the valve then the temp...

I've had a problem in my Daughters bedroom with a Rad. Tried the tapping of TRV which seemed to sort it out. However, the rad in the bathroom has now gone stone cold. Not just the rad but at least 1.5 feet of pipework. It seems that these 2 rads are working in tandem to drive me mental!. The...
